After weeks of job hunting, you finally got hired at The National Gallery. Moving to London a few months ago had been harder than you expected. You came here hoping to start overâto build something for yourself. A new city, a new job, new people.. maybe even a new love life. Anything that felt different from the life youâd left behind.
By some miracle, you were assigned to the gift shop, and thatâs where you met Steven Grant.
You clicked almost immediately. There was something endearing about the way heâd light up whenever he talked about ancient Egyptian gods, going on and on with facts no one had asked for, his words spilling over each other whenever he got excited. You never minded listening. In fact, you loved it. He fit right in at the museumâat least, thatâs what you thought. Your boss, however, looked like sheâd rather set herself on fire than let him anywhere near the tour groups.
Most nights, the two of you worked the late shift together, and those quiet hours usually dissolved into conversation. Youâd start with stocking shelves or cleaning up, but somehow you always end up standing behind the counter, talking so long you forgot there was actual work to do.
Tonight was no different.
Steven was rambling about Egyptology again, hands moving as he spoke, completely lost in one of his usual tangents. This time you could barely focus on what he was saying. You had something else on your mind.
Youâd been flirting with him for weeks, making it as obvious as you possibly could. Youâd even asked him out three separate times. And every single time, heâd somehow âforgottenâ by the next day, looking at you with that confused little frown and insisting you were making it up.
At first, it was almost funny. Then frustrating. Now? You were done waiting for him to make the first move.
Tonight, you were going to do something he wouldnât forget.
Never in your life had you had to beg someone this much just to go out for one night.
After the twentieth please, Stevennnn, he finally gave in.
Honestly, you were starting to wonder what exactly he had planned that made staying in so important. Every time you suggested going out, heâd dodge it like you were asking him to commit a crime.
Youâd agreed to meet an hour after both of you clocked out, mostly because you wanted to make sure heâd actually show up this time and not mysteriously âforgetâ again.
The hour passed quicker than expected, and before long, you were climbing out of an Uber in front of a restaurant far fancier than either of you could probably afford. You wanted something nice.
Your only real goal tonight was simple: get the both of you tipsy enough for him to stop overthinking everything.
You pulled out your phone and texted him.
The reply came almost instantly, like heâd been staring at the chat the entire time.
No, Iâll be there in five.
You smiled at the screen, gave the message a quick thumbs-up, and headed inside. They seated you in a quiet corner near the back, dim lighting casting soft shadows over the table. You scrolled on your phone endlessly, time felt unbelievably slow nowâright on the sixth minute, he walked in.
But something felt⌠off.
It was him. It looked like him. Same curls, same slightly hunched posture, same face youâd spent the last few months trying not to stare at during every shift.
And yet, it didnât feel like Steven.
You couldnât quite explain itâjust something in the way he carried himself. More sure. Less awkward. Like he wasnât shrinking into the room the way he usually did.
Still, you brushed it aside.
âHey, sorry I kept you waiting,â he said, sliding into the seat across from you. His voice sounded way different, the stupid, British accent practically gone.
He sat down then casually rubbed at a faint red mark on his cheek, like heâd just come from somewhere he shouldnât have been.
You raised an eyebrow, confused but laughed it off. âThatâs alright. I already ordered.â
His brows lifted. âYou did?â
âJust drinks,â you said, leaning back with a grin. âGot their fanciest beer.â
He blinked at you. âI⌠donât drink, actually.â
The answer came too quickly, almost rehearsed.
You tilted your head, amused. âWell, you are tonight.â
Steven looked like he was already searching for an excuse to bolt, so you leaned forward before he could.
âYou wouldnât make a girl drink all by herself, would you?â
For a moment, he just stared at you.
Then, slowly, the corner of his mouth twitched into something that wasnât quite Stevenâs shy smile. It was sharper. He picked up the glass the waiter had just set down, turning it slightly in his hand before meeting your eyes.
âSuppose thatâd be a bit rude, wouldnât it?â he said, voice low, with a confidence youâd never heard from him before.
It didnât take more than three shots for you to be completely off the hook.
The alcohol hit you embarrassingly fast, warmth rushing to your face until everything around you felt pleasantly fuzzy. Your original plan had been to get both of you drunk enough for everyone to loosen up, but that quickly fell apart. Steven, somehow, barely looked affected at all. He nursed his drinks like they were water, while you were already slurring halfway through your third beer.
It ruined your plan entirely.
But you were too drunk to notice.
By the time the bill came, he paid, though not without a brief pause when he saw the total, his mouth tightening for a second before he handed over his card anyway. He wouldâve never let you pay, even if the price physically pained him.
When he walked you outside, the cold night air quickly hit your face. Your steps were uneven, words tangling together between little bursts of laughter as you stumbled over nothing. Steven stayed close beside you, steadying you once when your foot caught against the curb.
âWhatâs your address again?â he asked, already pulling out his phone. âIâll get you an Uber.â
âWaitâŚâ you murmured, grabbing both his wrists before he could finish typing.
Your grip was clumsy but enough to stop him.
âListen,â you said, swaying closer, eyes glassy as you looked up at him. âWhy canât you just let loose for once?â
He looked at you, confused at first, but he didnât pull away.
You tightened your hold slightly, words spilling out before you could think them through.
âI mean⌠any guy wouldâve brought me back to their bed by now, but you just have to be soo fucking lame.â
The moment you said it, a sober version of yourself wouldâve wanted the pavement to split open and swallow you whole.
You didnât mean it. Not really. You were just saying bullshit, whatever came to your intoxicated mind, hoping somehow it would get a rise out of him.
Just slightly, but enough.
Something in his face hardened, annoyance flickering there first, then something else. Something sharper. Like jealousy mixed with bruised pride.
What you didnât know was that this wasnât exactly Steven.
It was his body, his face, his voice.
But the man looking down at you now wasnât the shy, awkward museum worker who forgot your confessions and blushed when you teased him.
This version of him was different.
More daring. More certain.
And unlike Steven, this one wouldnât pass on an opportunity that was practically being handed to him.
The door shut behind the two of you with a soft click, and for a moment, everything was swallowed by darkness.
It was colder inside than you expectedâalmost unnaturally so. The kind of chill that seeped through your clothes and raised goosebumps along your arms. You stood still, blinking, until he reached past you and flicked on the light.
The flat came into view all at once.
Your eyes landed first on a fish tank, a lone goldfish swimming in lazy circles beneath the dim glow. Then everything else started to registerâshelves cluttered with random objects, papers scattered across surfaces, drawers left half-open, clothes tossed carelessly over a chair. It looked like someone had been living three different lives in the same space and forgot to clean up after any of them.
âSorry about the mess,â he said from behind you, putting his coat down. His tone had an edge to it, almost teasing. âDidnât expect visitors.â
You ignored the comment, too busy taking everything in.
It felt strangely intimate, being here. Seeing the space he retreated to after work, the place youâd imagined a dozen times but never thought youâd actually step inside. Your gaze moved over every detail like it might be the last time youâd ever see any of it.
You wandered deeper into the flat, leaving him by the door.
The desk caught your attention first. It was a disasterâcovered in loose papers, scribbled notes, and open books stacked so high they looked ready to topple over. You stumbled closer, squinting at the pages. Sketches of symbols. Handwritten translations. Entire piles of books about ancient Egyptian history and mythology.
You laughed quietly to yourself. It was the most Steven thing youâd ever seen.
Then your attention shifted to the bed.
At first, it looked normal enoughâunmade sheets, blankets half-pulled to one side. But then something near the bedpost caught your eye.
Your eyebrows furrowed as you stepped closer.
chainsâmetal chains. looped tightly around one of the bedposts, secured with what looked like a heavy clasp.
You grabbed one of the chains and held it up. âThis is for..?â you asked, smiling faintly as you raised an eyebrow at him.
âI have a really bad sleepwalking problem.â
You blinked at him slowly, trying to decide if he was serious.
It didnât feel like a joke. But it didnât feel entirely serious either.
âYeah?â you said, still holding the chain up.
silence, except for the constant hum of the fish tank filter in the corner of the room
Then he began walking toward you.
Not threateningâbut not exactly reassuring either.
Your gaze stayed locked on him for a second too long, like your brain was trying to catch up to something your body already felt.
Your fingers loosened. The chain slipped from your hand and clattered softly onto the floor. You didnât even notice when it happened.
All you noticed was him getting closer.
Closer, and closer, until the backs of your knees hit the edge of the bed and you sat down without even realizing it. He followed immediately, one hand braced beside you as he leaned in enough to slowly push you back against the mattress.
The room suddenly felt too warm despite the cold flat, your head spinning from the alcohol and the way he was looking at you nowâfocused, intense, He climbed over you carefully, settling between your legs as you pushed yourself up slightly on your elbows, unwilling to stay still another second.
You couldnât wait anymore.
Your hands flew to his face, fingers gripping his jaw as you pulled him down into a desperate, hungry kiss. And he kissed you back instantly.
One of his hands caught your wrists easily, guiding them down against the mattress while the other traced slowly down your chest, deliberate enough to make your stomach tighten. The kiss deepened almost immediately, rougher than you expected, like heâd been holding himself back for far too long.
The room now filled with soft moans and whines, he pulled back just enough for you to breathe, forehead nearly resting against yours, and for a second you just stared at him.
Something about him had completely changed.
Your gaze flicked briefly toward the chains hanging from the bedpost as his fingers teased against the waistband of your skirt. You sat up on your elbows, returning your eyes back at him.
Before long, Marc was chained to his own bed. It wasn't the familiar, safety setup Steven used to prevent midnight desert excursions. This time, the metal cuffs bit into his wrists strictly to keep him from touching you. A flash of surprise crossed Marc's face, he wasn't used to being âsubmissiveââvulnerable, but the heat pooling in his gut quickly wiped away any real protest. You stepped back to the foot of the bed, admiring your very first attempt at âbondage.â A slow, almost freakish smile spread across your face.
âWoah, okay⌠I mean, this is new.â a breathless laugh escaping him. It was a mix of genuine nerves and arousal.
You didnât reply. Instead, you climbed back onto the mattress, crawling over him until you were straddling his lap. You leaned down, pressing sweet, agonizingly gentle kisses along his jawline.
When you finally drifted up to his lips, you stopped just an inch away. Marcâs eyes stayed shut, bracing for a kiss that never came. You couldn't help but giggle.
Tapping his nose playfully, you sat up on your knees, straddling his waist before slowly starting to pull your dress up over your head. Immediately, Marcâs eyes went wild. He didnât know where to lookâdarting from your thighs, to your body, up to your face.
A dark flush crept up his neck, and the sheer frustration of his helplessness kicked in; he instinctively tried to lift his arms to help, only for the chains to snap taut with a sharp metallic clink.
âNo, nooo,â your voice muffled, âIâve got it.â
He couldnât even form a coherent response, he was too busy staring at your practically naked body, offering nothing but a mumbled, breathless string of gibberish and a thoroughly wrecked laugh.
The dress was thrown to the floor, followed quickly by your bra and panties. Left completely bare, you shifted to position yourself right over his faceâMarcâs mouth was already parted, practically salivating for you.
You gripped the metal of the headboard, anchoring yourself as you slowly sank down. A soft moan caught in your throat.
Beneath you, Marcâs tongue slid up your wet length, swirling and burying itself into your tight hole with a desperate, frantic hunger. Unable to hold back, you ground yourself heavily against his mouth, letting out whines so loud the neighbors could probably hear.
You bit down on your lip as you moved your hips, he followed your rhythm, so badly wishing he could touch you, hold you.
âmmmm, yeah, justâlike that.â You stuttered, your face lowering onto the headboard while your hands gripped tighter to hold yourself.
He groaned, a desperate, muffled sound against your flesh. Instinctively, his chest heaved and his shoulders braced as he tried to reach up to grab your hips..againâonly for the heavy clink of the chains to remind him he was entirely at your mercy.
The louder your whines got, the faster Marc licked, completely consumed by the taste of you. He was a man starved, his jaw working against your inner thighs as he tried to devour you whole.
The pleasure was so intense it was making his mind fracture at the edges; he could feel the slight tremor in his body as he fought to stay completely present, terrified that Steven might front and ruin the moment.
"Marc," you stuttered, voice shaking as a wave of heat washed through youârealizing how close he was bringing you to the edge, you deliberately rocked your hips backward, pulling just out of reach of his tongue.
Marc let out a harsh, frustrated groan, his head straining off the pillow to follow you. "Please," he choked out, his voice wrecked, his lips glistening with your slick. You looked down at him, leaning heavily on the headboard, enjoying the sight of the ruthless mercenary completely unraveled beneath you.
you tilted your head, smiling. You were really enjoying this.
You quickly unbuttoned his pants. The sound of the zipper was sharp in the quiet room, followed by the ragged sigh of pleasure he couldn't suppress. As you lowered yourself onto him, his hips bucked instinctively. With one hand guiding his shaft and your mouth working a steady pace, you felt the way his body twitched and surrendered to the friction, his control (which barely he had) shattering.
He could imagine his hands gripping your hair as he pushed your head deeper onto him, if only. But this was just as good.
You kept your gaze locked with his, watching the way his pupils dilated and increased your pace, letting your palm slide along his cock with deliberate friction. He groaned, his body arching off the mattress as far as the chains would allow. "haaa..," he hissed through gritted teeth, his head dropping back against the pillow.
While shifting himself, he turned his head to the side, forgetting about the vanity mirror that is angled perfectly toward him. His eyes locked onto the glass, a familiar reflection staring back with furrowed brows pulled tight.
âShit,â he muttered, a very clear tone of annoyance.
Stevenâs face rapidly turning a humiliated shade of crimson. âBloody hell, Marc... what are you doing?â
âWhat?â You pulled back, blinking in confusion, your breath hitching as you looked at him. You had heard the words, but they hadn't come from the man you were looking at. âDid you⌠did you say something?â
Marcâs eyes snapped back to yours, his pupils dilating as he fought to regain control. His posture stiffened, When he spoke again, there was a clear difference of accent, you couldnât brush it off this time.
âNo,â he rasped, his eyes locking onto yours with a desperate, intense hunger that demanded you ignore the impossible. âJust⌠keep going.â
âWhy are you doing that?â you asked,
âSwitching accents,â you pressed, pulling back just enough to look him in the eye. âAnd how does it just⌠disappear like that? Youâve never done that before.â You hiccuped.
He blinked, his gaze flicking toward the mirror for a fraction of a second before he forced himself to focus entirely on you. He looked frantic, his chest heaving against the chains. âUh, Iâm justâmaybe youâd find a constant British accent irritating,â he deflected, his tone sounding like a clumsy, poor imitation of himself.
Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion, but the sheer absurdity of the moment made a nervous laugh escape your lips. âWeirdo,â you teased,
Deciding to let the bizarre moment slide in favor of the heat between you, you dipped your head back down. You felt his body coil with anticipation, his muscles bunching as you returned to your rhythm.
âY-yep,â he stammered, the word breaking into a ragged moan as he bucked against your touch.
âIs that... is that her?!â Steven rambled, his breath coming in short, panicked huffs. âHow did we even get here, Marc? I meanâreally? Tied up? Andâand all of this?â He gestured vaguely with his chin. âI shouldâve known youâd do something after making me switch out for that stupid fight.
The voice that spilled out was sharper than his own, embarrassed was an understatement, but Steven definitely felt painful envy. Marc just rolled his eyes.
âYou had your chances, Steven,â Marc muttered, his voice gravelly and dismissive. He stammered slightly as he tried to regain his footing, his gaze darting back to youâonly to find you already staring at him with a look of utter bewilderment and confusion,
the guy youâre sucking off seems to be having a full blown conversation with himself right now.
âSwitch with me,â he pleaded, his voice dropping to a desperate, quiet whisper. âJust for a minute. Let me⌠let me feel it. Please.â
The disconnect was too much to ignore, I mean you're literally watching this guyâs lips pressed firmly shut while a second, frantic voice poured into the room, seemingly from thin air
You snapped your head toward the vanity mirror, your eyes darting between the man physically chained to the bed and the man staring back from the glassâtwo versions of the same face, one exhausted and hard, the other pleading and raw. You shook your head, not being able to differentiate between reality or if you were just really drunk.
Marcâs eyes locked onto yours, the reflection, however, didn't look at youâhe was staring at Marc out of embarrassment, avoiding confrontation.
âYouâre just hearing things!â Marc rasped before you could even open your mouth, his American accent strained and heavy as he fought to force the other presence down. âRight, I mean youâre drunk, Itâs been a long night.â
âOh come on!â The reflectionâs voice echoed in the small room, âYouâre lying to her and keeping all of this for yourself!â
You couldn't find the words; nothing could bridge the gap between what you were seeing and what you were hearing. How was the reflection speaking? And why did he sound exactly like Stevenâthe real Steven?
But, you did drink a bunch..maybe you were just hearing things.
Your eyes moved away from the reflection back towards Marc.
Marc scrambled to salvage the moment, his heart hammering against his ribs. He wanted to get back to what they were doing, but Stevenâalways interfering, always hoveringâwas actively ruining everything.
âHeyâhey, how about we do something else, yeah?â he rasped, his voice strained and desperate. He looked at you with an intensity that burned, his wrists rattling sharply against the bedframe. âGet me out of these bloody chains, and Iâll help you clear your mind.â
That instantly brought you back to the heat of the moment, the logical part of your brain dissolving as you gave in. You moved to the bedposts, clicking the chains open, your fingers brushing against his wrists. You didn't even notice the shiftâthe way the frantic, hard-edged intensity in his eyes suddenly softened.
Marc hadn't wanted to give up the body, but the effort of holding Steven back had finally shattered his focus. And steven wasnât holding back anymore.
He surged forward, grabbing your waist and pulling you back down onto the mattress. You gasped as you hit the bed, the sudden shift in his demeanor catching you off guard.
He didnât waste a single second, completely ignoring the muffled, frantic rambling of Marcâs reflection in the mirror. Instead, he placed a firm hand on your stomach and pushed in, the sudden pressure dragging a stuttered, loud moan from your lips.
He leaned forward the more he pressed in, going in to kiss you, practically devouring your lips as if this would be the last time heâd ever touch you, he pulled away just slightly as he started thrusting, the wet, heavy sounds of the friction mixing with the hitching of your breath and his low, jagged gasps.
He lowered himself fully onto you, the weight of him grounding you as he buried his face in the crook of your neck. He began to press firm, heated kisses against your skin, He began to suck at your skin, leaving hickeys with a possessive urgency, hearing your whimpering and stammering moans fueled him.
He wanted that physical proof to stare back at him when he saw you at work tomorrow, a reminder that this moment was real and not just a fragment of his fractured mind.
He also knew how much those would piss off Marc when he finally regained control.
And it also didnât take long before Steven was close.
His voice hitching as he begged,
âPlease, can Iâhaa, cum..inside? he stuttered in between breaths. âWant youâwanna fill you up.â
Your mind was fogged but you nodded, a hazy, submissive movement, completely lost in the moment. The thought of consequences didn't even registerâ though luckily you were on the pill.
With one final, shuddering thrust, he let out a muffled groan, his face burying deep into the bedsheets as he released himself inside you. Followed by ragged, hitching moans that escaped your own lips.
Within seconds, the room fell into a heavy, suffocating silence. The only thing tethering you back to reality was the steady, rhythmic hum of the fish tank, the soft bubbling of the filter.
More Moonknight fics plsâŚ.
